The Equity of School Facilities Funding: Examples from Kentucky
Glenn, William J.; Picus, Lawrence O.; Odden, Allan; Aportela, Anabel
Education Policy Analysis Archives, v17 n14 Aug 2009
While there is an extensive literature analyzing the relative equity of state funding systems for current operating revenues, there is a dearth of research on capital funding systems. This article presents an analysis of the school capital funding system in Kentucky since 1990, using the operating-revenue analysis concepts of horizontal equity, vertical equity, and fiscal neutrality. In general one could tentatively conclude that Kentucky's capital-funding system was reasonably equitable until an expansion of district options in 2003-04 was followed by greater measures of inequity. This analysis points to specific methods for Kentucky to restore equity to its school capital funding structure as well as a model for analysis of other capital funding systems. (Contains 6 tables and 3 footnotes.)
